It’s no secret that for every farmer, tilling the soil is pretty rewarding since it’s a preparation for a new life to grow in the dirt and soon, you’ll definitely benefit from it. Taking care of a crop is pretty hard and requires a lot of time and attention that’s why most farmers would do anything and everything to protect their crops.

However, there’s this farmer who found something in his yard that blew the experts away!

A farmer in Michigan who was identified as James Bristle was just doing his daily routine when he noticed something sticking out of his yard.

At first, he thought that it was just a stick so he decided to dig it up and try to remove it. However, as he went further, the ‘stick’ just grew bigger and bigger than he expected. The stick grew big to the point that he already decided to dig his yard using a machine.What did he found?

To his surprise, he unearthed the ribs, skull, vertebrae and the tusks of a woolly mammoth.Paleontologists at the University of Michigan were immediately called to verify what he found and that’s when they discovered that the bones could be as old as 15,000 years.

The rest of the digging was then completed by the Dan Fisher and the mammoth will be named the Bristle Mammoth to honor James’ discovery.
